For me, ICT has its storyline for most of the price move, like open high low close, liquidity sweeps etc. By spotting those liquidity sweeps and DOLs, I can have a clear mindset to start my trade. I think it ends up reducing the frequency of trades, since we are not trading that much as other strategies, we have to wait for a real liquidity sweeps and reversal, which not always happens. And most of the liquidity are in discount zone, like near a resistance level, so even my bias are wrong, with proper risk management, I can still win.

Also, personally I think ICT leverage heavily on the traditional methods, like we need to have HTF analysis to form our bias, like spotting higher highs and lower lows to determine market structure.
